Yes, I've seen the problem with MacWrite II too. The current version
doesn't correctly handle fonts larger than 127 point. It doesn't handle
the same situation correctly with ATM either.

I have successfully displayed and printed out TrueType text at 256
point in Aldus Persuasion (the largest size that that application would
let me specify). The printing was done on an HP PainJet XL, using HP's
Color PrintKit driver (well-thought-out driver, remarkably faithful
colours). I even displayed text at 320 point and 999 point in
ReadySetGo 4.0 (how's that for ancient?).

To someone with a hammer and a screwdriver, every problem looks
like a nail with threads.
